Troubled Unionists at Church and Change

"We find this attitude of tolerance quite frequently among unionists. It is often used to assuage a troubled conscience, one's own as well as that of others; for the unionist declares that every one may continue to hold his own private convictions and merely needs to respect and tolerate those of another. This attitude is totally wrong, for it disregards two important factors: (a) in tolerating divergent doctrines one either denies the perspicuity and clarity of the Scriptures, or one grants to error the right to exist alongside of truth, or one evidences indifference over against Biblical truth by surrendering its absolute validity; and (b) in allowing two opposite views concerning one doctrine to exist side by side, one has entered upon an inclined plane which of necessity leads ever further into complete doctrinal indifference, as may plainly be seen from the most calamitous case on record, viz., the Prussian Union."

Reading the Church and Change schedule...last night they opened with "Contemporary worship at St. Marcus." The thought of all those unionists, adiaphorists, and American-Evangelical wannabes swaying to "Awesome God" breaks my heart.

And for some reason they've got a huge picture of SP Schroeder on their homepage...apparently they feel they have a synodical mandate to meet. Wonder what SP Schroeder will do.
